The objective of the study is to compare the results between carpal and cervical vertebrae radiographic studies to determine the level of skeletal maturation, using hand and lateral skull radiographs obtained from the digital radiology center “Dental Explorer” in Píllaro, Ecuador, during the period from 2020 to 2022. Radiographs of 79 patients aged between 9 and 16 years were analyzed. The results showed a strong correlation between the cervical and carpal maturation methods, with correlation coefficients of 0,854 in females and 0,827 in males. This finding suggests that both methods are reliable and can be used interchangeably in clinical practice. Additionally, it was observed that chronological age does not always reflect the level of somatic maturation, highlighting the importance of using specific tools to assess skeletal development. These results are relevant for improving diagnosis and treatment in dentistry and orthodontics, avoiding additional radiation exposures.
